What do I use to cut my ski??

[Liquid Graffix]

I want to cut my hood down on my SN. Just wondering what is the best tool to use to do it. I think a jigsaw would be to hard to keep straight.

Suggestions???

Thanx-

Band saw, or if you have a steady hand a jigsaw , or grinder with a cutoff wheel.....

or my personal favorite the Fein multimaster

36" Husky 10hp chainsaw or a 4" diamond blade on a right angle grinder.

I picked up a pneumatic jigsaw for those types of cuts.

you'd still need a grinder to clean up the cuts.

Fein multi master. I love mine but it's pricey . Home depot sells a lower quality knock off , but it should do the job . I can control mine very easy for a straight cut.

Yup, I have a CP mini angle grinder for that.

I just like the jigsaw for the initial cuts, especially in tight spots like footholds.

Sawzall FTW! I can do most anything I need with my sawzall. As posted above though, a cutoff wheel on a grinder, or air powered die grinder will be very precise. Even smaller and you can use a dremel with cutoff wheels, I've had to do that in some tight spaces. I haven't tried a bandsaw yet, haha. Good idea though. I have a portable band saw, that would have worked great for some of the cuts on my ski.
I should add that my sawzall is very smooth, I tried using my dads oldschool makita AC powered sawzall a while back and it about shook me to death, no way could I do anything with it. I use a 6-7 year old dewalt 18V sawzall, very smooth. Just bought my Dad a new dewalt setup for X-mas. I've heard the quality has gone down in them recently, but his new ones seem very solid. I guess time will tell.

Looks like I'll be stopping by the hardware store on the way home from work.

I've had pretty good luck with a drywall roto-zip style bit in a dremel for smaller stuff. I don't think I'd use it for long cuts though. It's tough to do a straight line. Cuts through SMC and fiberglass like butter though.
